Pastors Letter

Hi All, This past Sunday Brianna and I were visiting Trinity Church Mt. Barker. I was preaching for them whilst their senior pastor Scott Maxwell is on break. We were so kindly welcomed and they were so organised, like a little bee hive each person used their gifts and skills to serve so that things went smoothly. After the service we had a number of great conversations.…

Hi All, I’ve enjoyed being back at work this week and excited for another year of life together as a church. There’s lots to be looking foward to, and as always, it’s all about our mission to make and grow disciples of Jesus. Simon wrote last week about some of our serving needs heading into the new year.

Happy New Year church! As we kick off a new year it is a great chance for us to pause and reflect on our aspirations for the year ahead, under God. How might Jesus shape your priorities and plans?

G’day Church, A few notes for this Sunday: Do you have a trestle table we can use? With some great activities and a shared lunch we’re realising we’re a few tables short. The setup team will be in at the school gym at 2pm on Saturday afternoon, so if you have one or two that we can use either drop it off or let us know and we can pick it up. Church…

G’day Church, This Sunday we’re getting into the Christmas spirit as we being in Matthew’s gospel together, but we might be surprised by how Matthew helps us get ready for the birth of Jesus: A family tree that spans more than 1000 years! Fortunately we don’t need to wait that long to celebrate – Christmas is only 19 sleeps away! What’s…

G’day Church, This Sunday is the third instalment in our short series on The Holy Spirit. It’s been really timely to reflect on and celebrate the Holy Spirit’s work in us on the back of our time considering God’s purposes for us as his church, which are so closely bound up in the Holy Spirit’s presence and work in our midst. And it…
